Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 18-22; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 3. Superior trunk and tail ridges discontinuous; inferior trunk ridge ending at anal ring; lateral trunk ridge continuous with inferior tail ridge; body rings 13-15 + 30-32.

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit reef flats to a depth of over 17 m. Easily recognized by color but secretive and not often seen (Ref. 48635). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Also seen in coral reefs in 1-20 m (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.6 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1778 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00037 (0.00016 - 0.00085), b=3.18 (2.99 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
